Ezekiel 13:4


← Ezekiel 13:3 Ezekiel 13:4 (KJV) Ezekiel 13:5 →
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
